2010-08-17Solaris/x86: Handle floating point exceptions properly in driver threadsBjörn Gustavsson
On Solaris/x86, the floating point exceptions bits seems to be propagated to child threads, so if scheduler threads use floating points exceptions, also driver threads will have floating points exception enabled. The problem is that erts_thread_init_float() has not been called for driver threads, and because of that matherr() will crash when called. Fix matherr() so that it will work even if erts_thread_init_float() has not been called. This fix was suggested by Mikael Pettersson.
2010-08-17erts: Remove broken elib_mallocBjörn Gustavsson
elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that is no longer possible to build.
2010-08-17erts: Remove the unused mem_drv driverBjörn Gustavsson
The mem_drv driver was only useful when elib_malloc was active.
2010-08-17erts: Remove stray pre-ISO-C compatibility macrosBjörn Gustavsson
A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.
2010-08-14erts: Remove unused decl.hBjörn Gustavsson
The header file erts/emulator/beam/decl.h is no longer used.

2010-08-13fix hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2 to avoid "Yikes!" warningMikael Pettersson
It's been reported that HiPE-enabled Erlang VMs running on BSD systems sometimes generate messages like Yikes! erts_alloc() returned misaligned address 0x8016a512c These originate from hipe_bif0.c:hipe_bifs_alloc_data_2(). A native code module has an associated data area of some size and alignment. In the case where the size is zero, the alignment is irrelevant, but the allocation BIF checks it anyway. The warning then triggers on systems where malloc(0) returns blocks with less alignment than we (erroneously) expected. The fix is to simply skip the allocation in this case and return NULL. The loader won't actually use the address in this case so that's safe. This is also an optimization since it avoids allocating memory that cannot be used, and it avoids fragmenting the system heap with useless tiny blocks. A second problem is that the warning message failed to identify its origin. Fixed by prefixing the message by the BIF's name rather than the silly Yikes! string. Tested and confirmed to solve the original reporter's problem.
2010-08-12Increase vheap counter to Uint64Björn-Egil Dahlberg
This will reduce the risk of integer wrapping in bin vheap counting. The vheap size series will now use the golden ratio instead of doubling and fibonacci sequences. OTP #8730

2010-08-10Merge branch 'rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544' into devRickard Green
* rickard/ethread-rewrite/OTP-8544: Rewrite ethread library
2010-08-10Rewrite ethread libraryRickard Green
Large parts of the ethread library have been rewritten. The ethread library is an Erlang runtime system internal, portable thread library used by the runtime system itself. Most notable improvement is a reader optimized rwlock implementation which dramatically improve the performance of read-lock/read-unlock operations on multi processor systems by avoiding ping-ponging of the rwlock cache lines. The reader optimized rwlock implementation is used by miscellaneous rwlocks in the runtime system that are known to be read-locked frequently, and can be enabled on ETS tables by passing the `{read_concurrency, true}' option upon table creation. See the documentation of `ets:new/2' for more information. The ethread library can now also use the libatomic_ops library for atomic memory accesses. This makes it possible for the Erlang runtime system to utilize optimized atomic operations on more platforms than before. Use the `--with-libatomic_ops=PATH' configure command line argument when specifying where the libatomic_ops installation is located. The libatomic_ops library can be downloaded from: http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/atomic_ops/ The changed API of the ethread library has also caused modifications in the Erlang runtime system. Preparations for the to come "delayed deallocation" feature has also been done since it depends on the ethread library. Note: When building for x86, the ethread library will now use instructions that first appeared on the pentium 4 processor. If you want the runtime system to be compatible with older processors (back to 486) you need to pass the `--enable-ethread-pre-pentium4-compatibility' configure command line argument when configuring the system.
2010-08-07Align trailing message data for all types of structuresRickard Green
Alignment of trailing data in messages has been adjusted. This in order to be able to pass data of any type as trailing data in the future.
2010-07-26inet: fix getservbyname buffer overflowMichael Santos
The byte holding the length of the interface name for the getservbyname/2 function is used in a signed context and can become negative, causing the buffer to be overrun. Make the same change for getservbyport/2. Test case: inet:getservbyname(list_to_atom(lists:flatten(lists:duplicate(128, "x"))), tcp).
2010-07-26inet: fix ifr_name buffer overflowMichael Santos
The byte holding the length of the interface name for the ifget/2 functions is used in a signed context and can become negative, causing the ifreq.ifr_name buffer to be overrun. Test case: inet:ifget(lists:duplicate(128, "x"), [addr]).
2010-07-26inet: null terminate ifr_name bufferMichael Santos
The buffer holding the interface name should be null terminated. See man 7 socket on Linux or the definition of IFNAMSIZ in net/if.h on FreeBSD: Length of interface external name, including terminating '\0'.

2010-07-07Fix ets:select hanging on ordered_set with empty list as key.Sverker Eriksson
erl_db_tree.c incorrectly used NIL (empty list) as "lastkey" to mark start of the iteration. A real NIL key could then cause a select or match iteration to be restarted over and over again if the last key before a trap happended to be NIL. Changed NIL to THE_NON_VALUE. Should be ok as the initial key value can never be put into any continuation tuple.

2010-07-05term_to_binary use all 32 bits of INTEGER_EXTSverker Eriksson
Earlier, external format INTEGER_EXT was only produced for 28-bit signed integers. Now full 32-bit signed integers are produced as INTEGER_EXT to avoid the more costly SMALL_BIG_EXT format. Both old and new code can read 32-bit INTEGER_EXT. Also fixed integer encoding bugs in erl_interface erl_encode/erl_decode. (Thanks to Alexander Demidenko for reporting)

2010-06-23Teach erl_time_sup to handle timezones w/o DST on FreeBSD as on other platformsPatrik Nyblom
This change handles erlang:localtime_to_universaltime(...,true) in timezones without DST in a consistent way over platforms. Specifically BSD did return an (accurate) -1 from mktime, which blew things up. Now all platforms regard no DST as a DST with delta zero. Linux, SunOS, MacOS etc already did this, why the behaviour on BSD was updated to the slightly incorrect one instead of breaking backward compatibility on most other platforms. Before this change, erlang:localtime_to_universaltime({{2008, 8, 1}, {0, 0, 0}},true) would return {1969, 12, 31}, {23, 59, 59}} when TZ=UTC on FreeBSD, now it mimics the behaviour of other systems and returns {{2008, 8, 1},{0, 0, 0}}. The problem was originally reported by Paul Guyot on erlang-bugs mailing list: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-bugs/2008-November/001077.html This correction replaces earlier BSD specific open source patches for this problem.

2010-06-14OTP-8710 Fix emulator crash caused by setting CPU topologyRickard Green
A user defined CPU topology set via a call to <seealso marker="erlang#system_flag_cpu_topology">erlang:system_flag(cpu_topology, CPUTopology)</seealso> was not properly verified, and could in worst case cause an emulator crash. The emulator crash could only occur when a user defined CPU topology already existed and was redefined.

In some cases unsetting variables would not work on Unix (typically if more variables were unset than were actually present in the environment).
2010-06-10{packet,http} allow empty response phraseSverker Eriksson
Packet type 'http' for erlang:deocode:packet and gen_tcp allow a response line with an empty phrase string, like "HTTP/1.1 200\r\n". Earlier, an empty phrase was only accepted if the status code was followed by space or tab, like "HTTP/1.1 200 \r\n".
2010-06-10fix open_port with many unset env varsSverker Eriksson
The erlang:open_port spawn and spawn_executable directives can include an {env, Env} directive to set up environment variables for the spawned process. Variables can be unset with {"NameOfVariable",false}. A bug in ert/emulator/sys/unix/sys.c could cause unset variables to not be unset. This would typically happen if there where more variables to be unset than there where already set variables in the destination evironment. Fix this problem for unix and add a new regression test for it to the port test suite. Windows does not seem to have the same problem.
2010-06-10allow open_port with env vars with trailing '=' on WindowsSverker Eriksson
Same problem that Steve Vinoski fixed for Unix. Similar fix done in erts/emulator/sys/win32/sys_env.c for Windows. Copy-paste from his commit-message: The erlang:open_port spawn and spawn_executable directives can include an {env, Env} directive to set up environment variables for the spawned process. A bug in ert/emulator/sys/unix/sys.c prevented applications from using {env, Env} to set an environment variable whose value ended with a '=' (equal sign) character; the code mistook the trailing equal sign as an indication that an environment variable was to be cleared from the environment of the spawned process. For example, passing an {env, Env} of {env, [{"foo", "bar="}]} would result in the code in sys.c seeing a string of the form "foo=bar=" The code would see the final '=' character and assume the directive wanted to clear a variable named "foo=bar" from the environment of the spawned process, rather than seeing it as a directive to set the environment variable "foo" to the value "bar=".
